Marcus Rashford's future at Manchester United hangs in the balance after he admitted to wanting a 'new challenge' following his exclusion from the Manchester derby squad.
Ruben Amorim surprised many by leaving Marcus Rashford out of the Manchester derby. Rashford responded by suggesting that his time at Manchester United may be coming to an end. The forward, along with Alejandro Garnacho, was excluded from Amorim's squad for United's 2-1 victory against Man City at the Etihad. Amorim indicated that his selection choices were driven by concerns about standards and behavior both on and off the pitch.
Rashford has faced a difficult season, struggling to find his form and even facing boos from United supporters in the Europa League. Following the derby, Rashford was asked by journalist Henry Winter if he would 'stay or go' and replied, 'For me, personally, I think I'm ready for a new challenge and the next steps.' Amorim, however, held a press conference to preview United's Carabao Cup match against Tottenham, and while he didn't rule out Rashford's future at Old Trafford, he emphasized he would welcome him back. Amorim even suggested that Rashford's 'new challenge' could involve helping United regain their dominance after years of underachievement. The situation is now public, with both sides airing their perspectives: Amorim is challenging Rashford to prove himself, while Rashford is daring United to sell him. This delicate situation unfolds as the January transfer window approaches. Rashford is currently on a £325,000-a-week contract until summer 2028, limiting the number of potential buyers, especially during a winter transfer window. His value has significantly dropped since his impressive 30-goal season in 2022/23
